11:30 AM GMT+1 on April 24, 2024

    There’s big news in the busy world of political podcasting as The Rest Is Politics, one of the most successful podcasts in the UK, launches in America this Friday 26th April.

    Hosted by Katty Kay, BBC Studios’ US Special Correspondent, and Anthony Scaramucci, who served as Director of Communications in Donald Trump’s White House, The Rest Is Politics US launches in the run up to the November’s election.

    Scaramucci has previously appeared on Leading, The Rest Is Politics’ interview series, with his episode receiving more downloads than any other guest.

    Current listeners of The Rest Is Politics don’t have to do anything in order to receive the new series. It will release each Friday straight into the existing feed. A separate feed will also be launched containing the same episodes for those who only want to keep up with the news stateside.

    This release marks the latest instalment in the wildly successful Rest Is… series, with other chart-topping titles including The Rest Is History, The Rest Is Entertainment and The Rest Is Football.

    We’ll have all the latest on the new series once it launches here on Podcast Rex.
